Hello!
So I've never really used make up before, I've aways been the boyish girl who didnt really care for what i looked like. But lately ive gone way more girly plus im gonna start to wear contacts more, i've always been using glasses, and glasses actually cover up your face a little. 
So i wanna start to use makeup.. i'm 21 by the way.
This is what i already have: (had to get for this big fancy ball dance we do where i live and the mascara my sister got for me)


L'oreal Voluminous waterproof mascara
L'oreal true match concealer
L'oreal true match super blendable powder
L'oreal infallible liquid foundation
And a brush for the powder i guess :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
I also have L'oreal Eye & Lip make-up remover for waterproof.

So what else do i need for a simple make up, that is not too much. kinda neutral/natural look but makes me face look prettier haha. Moving to a new city and i wanna get a good start with my looks, haha (we all know looks matter in this world)
I feels like something is missing but since i dont know anything at all about makeup, but willing to learn, i really dont know what else to get. 

Would love if you all could help me out here!

Get yerself a neutral eye palette or quad that you LIKE (don't just go for colors you find boring, pick out ones that make you happy to look at them). Then find a similar one that is darker--this will give you the ability to go more dramatic when you want to do so (yes, you could also do the same by starting dark and using less, but a variety of shades gives you more options.) And two lip products that you'll love--one very natural (what we call MLBB--"My Lips But Better") and one that is a bit more dramatic. With what you have and those four items, you'll be able to put together a very simple, yet polished, look.

I'm hesitant to suggest specific brands/colors, since I don't know your coloring/budget. However, I DO recommend taking a look at a few beauty books to get an idea of application methods, etc. Since you want something very natural looking, I'd recommend any of Bobbi Brown's.

 
You're off to a good start with the basics as far powder, liquid foundation and concealer go. I'd definitely go for a blush to add some color back into your face. L'Oreal has their True Match blush, if you want to stick with them. ELF has some awesome blushes for $3 at Target, Milani has mineralized blushes for around $5-6. Perhaps some of the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable lip stains that everyone's talking about now, those will moisturize and add some color to your lips.
